MSX emulator

01-03-08: 1.1

- gfx: fixed DDraw renderer border refresh bug

- input: corrected keyboard matrix quirk

- changed power-on timing, to prevent "A Life M36 Planet" from locking up

- added movie time code view option on play/record (hh:mm:ss;ff)

- vdp: you can now disable/enable sprite and tile layers

- vdp: added unlimited sprites option. This eliminates sprite flickering on most games, without affecting core accuracy: collision and overflow bits still work the same. Games that use overflow as a trick to hide sprite lines, like Athletic Land when falling into the water, will show glitches.

- sound: added "triple buffering" to prevent overflows on longer frames

- timing: speed up setting is now in percentage instead of integer multiply

- timing: added slowdown feature, working similar to speed up (default: F10)

- gfx: auto save palette didn't work

- input: added "invert" function for axes

- input: limited the speed of DInput reads, instead of always at every vblank. It sometimes returned wrong values in fast forward mode.

- timing: added direct control over frame speed/reverse with an analogue axis, by default mouse Y axis while holding F10 + F12. I call it DJ scratching, since it kind of resembles that.

- added AMD flash memory emulation, and Matra's INK mapper. One INK cartridge died in the process (no, not inkjet), curses were heard as far away as planet Gradius.

- fixed crash when opening an SCC game by drag-dropping, while that same SCC game was already running

Thanks to AEP Emulation for bringing this to our attention!

This is a proof of concept I made of a PSP Emulator with a debugger using D programming language and DFL library. Currently, the emulator only emulates a few instructions and a few BIOS calls.

 

2008/03/01:

 

- Partial (and buggy) lighting support.

- Some cleanups.

- Starting gui for breakpoints and gpu (not working yet).

- Corrected callstack.

- Some fixes; more homebrew demos supported.

- Temporally skinning broken.

- Temporally shaders disabled.

- Updated binaries.

- Reduced size of the font used in dissasembler and memory viewer.

- Allowing reduce dissasembler window size; now imports won't overlap).

- Initial support of opening files (not working fine yet).

- Threading support currently disabled (I have to fix some issues).

- mstick and reflection demos not supported yet

 

2008/02/24:

 

- Buggy skinning support.

- Implemented guLogic

 

2008/02/23:

 

- Now using shaders (opengl >= 2.0).

- Very fast clut.

- Now I will be able to emulate sprite behaviour (sprite.pbp) with vertex shaders.

- And probably hardware morphing and skining.

 

2008/02/22:

 

- cleanups

- clut support

- y-axis correction.

 

2008/02/21:

 

- more 3d support and more fpu instructions supported

- texture mapping

 

2008/02/20:

 

- Now can run a lot of integer instruction and some of the FP ones.

- Also emulates a little of the GPU with new opengl support and support more library imports.

- Fixed some bugs.

- I found mips specs so it will be more easy to implement cpu (except for allegrex-specific instructions).

- First Attempt (Buggy)

TG16 / PCE emulator

2008/03/01 1.40 released

- The noise of the sampling voice of the wave memory sound reduced. As a result, the tone quality has been improved.

- The ADPCM sound processing was brought close to a real machine.

- The processing speed and timing were elaborately brought close to a real machine. In the third stage of "Soldier Blade", the problem that one frame screen fell into disorder occasionally was solved. In "Racing Damashii", the problem that race screen shook occasionally etc. were solved.

- While playing CD-DA, when a game is reset with "SELECT+RUN" button, the bug that had been occasionally freezed was corrected.

- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

They were released within the last week.

- devkitpro updater 1.4.5

- buildscripts 20080229

- devkitPPC release 14

- libogc-20080228

- gcube 0.4.0 (this is a 3-year-old GameCube emulator, so don't get excited)

- gamecube examples 20080228

Some more information has come to hand from the operators of devkitpro.org...

The 14th release of the gamecube toolchain is now final and available for download. This version brings Wii support now that we have the ability to run code on Wii thanks to the efforts of Team Twiizers and their Twilight Hack.

 

Those of you used to the old build system with prior versions of devkitPPC and gamecube programming will need to review the updated examples and templates. libogc has now been removed from inside the toolchain and is installed in a separate directory in the same way we maintain the gba and ds support libraries for devkitARM. This allows us more leeway to update the toolchain and libraries separately and avoid dependency issues which have been causing problems for users in the past.

 

Several packages have been updated and some new ones added, notably the addition of Monk’s gcube emulator which appears to provide most compatibility with devkitPPC compiled code, including the ability to run code intended for Wii. We don’t advise using the emulator exclusively for development testing but it should be convenient for quick test builds prior to running on hardware. A windows native binary has been provided but currently lacks the debug features of the OSX and linux versions, hopefully we will be able to provide this with a future update. Currently there are no builds for other platforms but we will be happy to host prebuilt versions should someone volunteer to provide them.

 

Windows users should use the devkitPro installer updater to obtain devkitPPC and the support libraries, this ensures that everything is installed properly. For other platforms instructions are provided on the wiki Getting Started page which includes links for the windows install package.
